taught me once and for all that while death might be always near, a fear that's constantly devouring our lives and paralysing them to the point where it feels like our deepest, inner self is a husk shell of what we once were, we can still find the reason of our existence in the joys of living a life that's devoted in equal part to mystery, sensuality, knowledge and wonder. And it says this in the most democratic way you could think: everyone is entitled and deserving of the complexity of life. Oh, and also: it's an absolutely hilarious book to read through.

never found Joyce to be pretentious (the man knew what he was doing, and definitely succeeded in doing so) or obtuse (I mean, how many writers you can think of that could pull out the mastery of language and human sensibility out of nowhere like he does). I might be biased because I believe Ulysses saved my life: it's definitely one of the funniest, most touching, humane books I have ever had the pleasure to read. I'd push Ogre to keep up with the good work.

I did not have a nice time there and would not go back even if I had the chance.
avoid Malta at all costs.
Mhhh. I don't know how to feel about this: it seems like Mobilizon isn't getting as much traction as other federated services.

Boilen has already moved on and retired at the end of 2023 iirc.
...aaaaaaaaand off it goes once again.
Putting the clown makeup on once again...
It was really fun and up until the endgame it stroke that perfect balance between difficulty and reward. There's a definitive "oh shit!" moment when you start to see what it's really all about and I hadn't had One of those in a while
could be a whole lot of reasons: he's still the symbol of this Portugal team, after all. He must have a say in the locker rooms (and why shouldn't he, considering); Martinez must think of him as the glue that keeps the squad together (same reason why he must have brought Pepe along, probably). And yeah, probably sponsors too.
